can apigee asXML objects support namespaces (with colons) in XML tags?

Google Cloud Apigee
1

I’m using apigee to generate responses that match with the CMIS specification, and I have some XML that contains colons:

<atom:title>c9ad76c6-d121-4a32-bb14-e5d43bf91ee6</atom:title>

Obviously the

var r = response.content.asXML; r.atom:title = "lala";

doesn’t work. How do I set the content asXML to support colons on tags?

Thanks!

You can try something like the following example(based on using e4x with Rhino):

Example payload:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" soap:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/">
   <soap:Body>
      <soap:Fault>
         <faultcode>soap:Server</faultcode>
         <faultstring>Invalid ApiKey</faultstring>
         <faultactor />
         <detail>
            <source>
               <errorcode>oauth.v2.InvalidApiKey</errorcode>
            </source>
         </detail>
      </soap:Fault>
   </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

Example JS code to work with this xml where ‘soap’ is the namespace:

var xmlObj = response.content.asXML // or new XML (response.content);
var soap = new Namespace('http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/');
if(xmlObj.soap::Body !== undefined && xmlObj.soap::Body !== null){
  
  var faultstring = xmlObj.soap::Body.soap::Fault.faultstring.toString();
  var errorcode = xmlObj.soap::Body.soap::Fault.detail.source.errorcode.toString();
}

context.setVariable('message.header.x-faultstring', faultstring);
context.setVariable('message.header.x-errorcode', errorcode);

Hi Russo,

i'm trying to read the request xml,  format is below

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<S:Envelope xmlns:S="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
  <S:Body>
    <login xmlns="urn:xxobject.xxx.xxxx.com" xmlns:ns2="urn:fault.xxx.xxxx.com">
      <credential>
        <cId>1234</cId>
        <username>user</username>
        <password>pass</password>
      </credential>
      <param>
        <name>batchSize</name>
        <value>200</value>
      </param>
    </login>
  </S:Body>
</S:Envelope>

i would like to access element  <cId>1234</cId> in above xml, could you let me know how to achieve it in javascript of apigee.

i tried below options, however it didn't work

option:1

var xmlObj = request.content.asXML;
var S = new Namespace('http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/');
  
var value = xmlObj.S::Body.credential.cId.toString();

context.setVariable("value1",context.getVariable('value'));

option-2

var xmlObj = request.content.asXML;
var S = new Namespace('http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/');
var l= new Namespace ('urn:xxobject.sxxx.xxxx.com');
  
var value = xmlObj.S::Body.l::credential.companyId.toString();

context.setVariable("value1",context.getVariable('value'));

@venkat ch

It should be something like this:

var S = new Namespace(‘http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/’);

var L= new Namespace (‘urn:xxobject.sxxx.xxxx.com’);

var value = xmlObj.S::Body.L::login.L::credential.L::cId.toString();
